We are not DVC owners and will be booking through Disney directly with AAA discount this trip. I usually book 2 bedroom units on points. The only 2 bedrooms available to rent points are at SS. Last time we stayed there we were displeased by TWO different musty/moldy smelling rooms, even after a full cleaning/filter changing. While we overall otherwise liked the property this was a big enough problem that we won't return to SS. My kids have asthma and I couldn't stand being in the room.
We are doing a quick 4 night trip in Oct with 2 kids (12 and 9). We have been to WDW several times. We will NOT be renting a car this trip. We like the space of DVC properties. Based on what is available for our dates and budget, I am torn between 1 bedroom savannah view at AKV Kidani or 2 bedroom at OKW. We love the themeing at AK and Boma restaurant. The only downside is that it is so far from the parks. OKW seems more centrally located but I am concerned that due to its age and exterior door openings like at SS, we may have the same musty/moldy problems we had at SS. In either case, we will be spending the bulk of the time at the parks, probably one full day at each park. We will probably spend a little time at the pools also. AKV seems more what I want, but we will only get the 1 bedroom there due to price. I am ok with losing one bedroom, since we will still have 2 bathrooms. My main concern is the distance and travel times to parks by bus. Would that be enough of a reason to consider OKW? We'll probably only go to MK on one day.
Thanks for your expert input! I love disboards!!!
